Haha! I just did the first thing, and I calculated out price per package so I could see which places were most reasonable. I should change it to calculate price per 50g incl shipping. Of course, when actually choosing where to order from, I do take reviews into consideration. :)

Thankfully I’m not the only tea fanatic with a screw loose! I’m very definite about which tins and boxes I am after so I’m ordering directly from the supplier. I have, however, purchased loose leaf tea and then put down on my Excel spreadsheet which tin I’m going to buy for it.

When you realize how much care and effort you are putting into getting all the air out of the bag without crushing the leaf and it suddenly dawns on you, your old college friends didn’t put near that much effort into their little bags. Know what I mean Vern?

Just thought of another: when you find yourself googling unflavored toothpaste because you need to brush your teeth in the morning but you so want another cup of tea, but you know the toothpaste flavor will mask the wonderful flavor of TEA!

When you think you have emptied a bag of tea only to find a few small morsels in the creases at the bottom of the bag. Then the first thing you think is “Oh noooo I have to get that out or this tea won’t reach its destiny!”
